Occupational medicine (also known as “occupational health”) is focused on the treatment of work-related injuries and illnesses. Medical team and physicians trained in occupational medicine diagnose and treat work-related injuries much more effectively than most primary care medical groups. They’re up-to-date on federal and provincial regulations for workforce health and safety, so they can make the best treatment plans and perform regulatory examinations. Occupational health centers often work directly with employers to keep businesses running and employees safe and healthy on the job.
